Harpoon Tasting for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

Hi Friends!

As many of you may know, I am running the 2018 Boston Marathon for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I am proud to be raising awareness for such an important cause that impacts over 30,000 people in the US and two of my best friends.

What Is Cystic Fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. A defective gene and its protein cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs, leads to life-threatening lung infections, obstructs the pancreas, and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s, and beyond.

Despite increases in scientific discovery and innovate drug therapy - a cure for CF does not exist.

Harpoon has graciously allowed us to invade their sipping room to fundraise and enjoy beer tastings, snacks, etc! The sipping room is open for your use from 8pm-930pm - but we will plan to move to the main room after and continue the evening for anyone who is interested, 21+

Tickets to this event are $20 and include open bar for the sipping room and provided snacks for the time allotted. Proceeds will go directly to my fundraising efforts and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Please invite your friends and your friends friends and anyone who is interested!

I can be paid via venmo or whatever is convenient (Megan-Clancy-2), the maximum attendance for this event is 60 people and thus only 60 tickets are available.
